Abstract

I will describe a method for 3D reconstruction of urban scenes, which along with the ego-motion estimation and depth map fusion constitues a robust, purely vision based method for capturing 3D models of urban environments. I will also talk briefly about some on-going work on semantic segmentation of urban areas using spatial co-occurence of visual words and 3D geometry. I will show some preliminary results on challenging urban scenes with varying viewpoints and large number of categories appearing simultaneously.
